I want to use Bittorrent for striclty legal purposes etc etc.

I want to download the stuff via the computer that isn't connected to the computer by USB (if you know what I mean - the software for the router is installed on the other computer). There's this whole port forwarding business, however.

Is this how I should be doing it?

If not, explain ffs. It's pishing me off.
:^D

And if it is the right way, I'll sure have fun entering all the ports.

Well if you find out your IP on your PC, and check it against [URL]http://www.whatismyip.com[/URL]. If these match then your not behind a proxy, if they dont match then your behind a proxy. A proxy for your internet browser is usually set up by the user so if you havent done that then you probably arent behind one.

Do you actually let the torrent long to run? As sometime you can have it yellow for a few mins while it gets going. The best thing to do is try a very popular torrent, or join a BT site where torrents are much more seeded.

One other thing is have you set a proxy up for your internet browser? As the proxy would effect the torrent and would likely keep your torrent yellow as if it was firewalled.

No, that's what I meant, sorry.

I disabled it, and it remains yellow.

I'm downloading now and it's yellow.

Bit-torrent is a hit and miss affair, sometimes you get excellent speeds and a green light, sometimes you don't.

Aha, ok, cheers much.
